Mats Lewan

The Biggest Shift Ever

01/10/2015 - 02/10/20156:30 pm - 12:30 pm

Before the first air flight, no one could believe it was even possible. In the next decades, technology will transform our lives and our society far more than we realise. Will it be for the better? Science journalist & author Mats Lewan has a knack for making complicated stuff easy to grasp and for showing opportunities where fears and doubts seem to reign. The changes ahead remain underestimated and hardly discussed by policy makers and industry leaders today. It’s the biggest shift ever and it’s time to talk about it.

WORK EVENT | ON ENDLESS ENERGY

Friday 2 October 12.30-2.00PM Lunch Talk

While in Brussels, Mats Lewan also met with policy makers, experts and curious professionals for an informal lunch talk on the remarkable story of an almost impossible invention that could change the world: Cold Fusion. This unparalleled energy source promises inexpensive, clean, and virtually limitless energy. Yet, it is as promising as the concept has been controversial. A dividing force within the scientific community and the media, Cold Fusion captivates even the most skeptic out there. Too good to be true? Get in touch if you’d like to follow up.
